In addition to having the ability to import requirements from external
tools, you can create new requirements right in the test plan.
To add a new requirement to a test plan:
- Open a test plan.
- From the Table of Contents, click Requirements to
display the Requirements section.
- Click the Add New Requirement icon (
) to display the new requirement work item form.
- In the Summary field, type a statement that
clearly summarizes the meaning of the requirement.
- In the Details section, assign an owner for
the requirement, select a severity level, and optionally, add one or several
tags.
Note: You can assign tags to requirements and then use those
tags as input to queries.
- In the Description field, describe the requirement
in as much detail as necessary.
- To notify others about the requirement, click Links and
add other users as subscribers.
Note: The subscribers will be
notified whenever there is a change to the requirement.
- Click Approvals to set up an approval process
for the requirement.
- Click Save.
The new requirement displays at the bottom of the Requirements section.
